Morning Sickness Cures - 3 Strange But Successful Remedies For Morning Sickness

By:




You've heard of the common morning sickness: eating bland foods, crackers before getting out of bed, ginger ale and avoid particular foods. The following are three additional uncommon morning sickness cures that may be unfamiliar to you.


Acupuncture - Acupressure is an ancient Chinese technique used to relieve a range of ailments, including nausea from pregnancy. There's a pressure point on your wrist, located three finger-breadths from the end of the hand, amid two tendons. Continual applied pressure on this location, called point P6, is effective in reducing nausea from pregnancy, chemotherapy, and motion sickness. You can buy acupressure bands in most drugstores that target point P6; however, force can be applied to the area in a variety of different ways. Applying continuous pressure with the thumb works well.

A number of individuals obtain electrical stimulation on a regular basis that provides effective results. Pregnant women can make their own seabands by sewing a round button to a piece of Velcro and placing it on the p6 point. Acupuncture is one of those morning sickness cures that has been available for centuries, however has just been clinically established as being just as effective as other all natural remedies.


Salt - Everyone knows that women who are expecting eat saltine crackers to soothe their stomachs. Could it possibly be because it is a bland food? Or is it something to do with the salt itself? Surprisingly, salt can actually help ease nausea, making it stand out as one of the more unusual cures for morning sickness.


For unknown reasons, women tend to salivate significantly more during pregnancy. The medical term for this excessive salivation is ptyalism. Maybe it's the hormones, or the fact that pregnant women don't swallow quite as often when they are queasy; whatever the reason, an excess quantity of saliva is a normal although annoying symptom of pregnancy. Should you happen to wake up during the night a pile of drool, it is probable that you are suffering with this odd pregnancy symptom.

The extra saliva in the mouth could possibly prompt a gag effect, which in already nauseous pregnant women will most certainly cause vomiting. When this occurs, try grabbing a saltine or other salty foods. The salt will help dry up saliva, which helps stave off gagging, reducing morning sickness. Many expectant mothers swear by salt and vinegar chips. Salt is surely an unusual but somehow effective morning sickness cure.


Please note that salt does dehydrate the body, which can be especially dangerous for a pregnant woman. If you decide to partake in a salty snack, be sure to do it in moderation and hydrate your body by drinking plenty of water.

Lollypops - "Preggie Pops" are very popular amongst pregnant women. Sold in most maternity clothing and baby stores, Preggie Pops reportedly help stave off morning sickness. Many expecting women, love them, although the common complaint is that the lollypops are costly.


Fortunately, most regular lollypops and hard candies are just as effective at relieving nausea The pregnancy pops come in flavors that ease nausea. However, sucking on a lemon lollypop or jolly rancher will bring you the same relief. Hard candy may be a better option as it tends to last longer. The best flavors for morning sickness are spearmint and lemon. Flavored popsicles work the same way, and are a great morning sickness cure during the hot summer months.


Try purchasing lollypops and hard candy in bulk which will be alot easier on the pocket than "Preggie Pops".

For those of you that are tired of the ginger ale, these are three unusual morning sickness cures that should give you some much needed relief. Next time you feel the onset of nausea, try a little acupressure, indulge in some potato chips, or reach for a comforting lolly-pop.
